[ Sorry, Ingo! He's talking about her!! It's fine! ]

[derailer]

[IT'S NOT FINE WHEN IT HAPPENS TO ANYONE! But it's not currently real so it's tolerable!!

At least this Avenger guy doesn't seem hostile, even though it would be nice if he were slightly less insufferable, given the terrible situation. Ingo has a lot of patience for this type of guy, but that patience is low right now.]

[ She gives his hand a squeeze. She can't talk to him or Emmet right now, focused on the conversation at hand, but she's here if he needs her. ]

[derailer]

[He will squeeze her hand back hard enough that he is going to have hand cramps later.]

[davincible]

It's all right. [ softly, as she begins to follow. ]

He's a Servant, like me. An ally.

[derailer]

...I see.

[He relaxes as the path clears, but only marginally. His voice is weak, in a way it never usually is.]

I am grateful for his assistance.

[davincible]

... Hang in there. Ideally, this won't take long.

[derailer]

[How to say "I've already dissociated from this situation too far to perceive the passage of time" and sound reassuring instead of concerning?]

Yes. I am, doing my best. Never fear.

[davincible]

I know. You're doing great, Ingo.

[derailer]

[That is the kind of compliment that he would be elated about under normal circumstances; in these circumstances, it just clears away some of the fog from his thoughts, giving his words slightly more clarity.]

Thank you. Please do not worry about me.
